Bathroom issues

[chick72 9]

Sorry everyone this is real personal but I want to know if I’m the only one cause I’m really struggling and my doctor is booked out a few weeks. So I am about A month and 10 days after surgery I’ve lost about 35 lbs. but last Friday I had an issue I ate my lunch it was simply just some chicken nothing special but I’m sitting at work and it hits me I HAVE to go to the bathroom I’m rushing over there and out of no where I feel something running down my leg I went to the bathroom without even knowing. I thought maybe I was getting sick took it very easy this weekend on what I ate I had no problems at all. But here I am today ate my lunch I’ve been extremely paranoid so I had just a light broth nothing exciting and the same thing almost happened but my extrem paranoia has me running to the bathroom any time I feel any little thing in my stomach. Has anyone else had anything like this or any tips or tricks?

No...I've not had anything like that. I'm so sorry you do...has to be really unsettling!

Hopefully, it's a passing thing that will improve with time.

I would suggest:

1. Getting in to talk to your doc about it, or at least phoning the nurse about it ASAP.

2. Get some disposable diaper underpants...they have something like "Pull Ups" for adults now. I know it's a little frustrating and uncomfortable...but my mom sometimes wears them and unless you were looking close, you'd never know. Again...just until you get it figured out, so you don't have to panic:) Think of it as temporary insurance.

I have had this and so has my dad. What we found out is that we weren't getting enough Probiotics. He takes a pill and i make sure to eat my yogurt and both of us are doing better. Good luck!

Doesn't sound like fun. I'd also take a look at anything you're eating that could have a laxative effect. For example sugar alcohol is in a bunch of sugar free and bariatric stuff (especially Calcium supplements) and that can cause that. Hope you get it figured out, I think some kind of pad or diaper is a good idea until you get it figured out, that way it is just annoying VS a catastrophe if you're at work.

I haven’t had this exact issue, but when I have to go, I really have to go —immediately.

My NUT says she has several WLS clients with fecal incontinence. They control it by carefully logging their foods to identify trigger foods.

Also, Always (the maxi pad brand) makes incontinence underpants - basically very thin adult pull-ups. They are a bit pricier, but look and wear like regular underpants.

Stevia does this to me but I have thankfully not experienced it while out

I hope you figure it out soon!
